Qos : bandwidth limitation on Ethernet port

[jfbesnardeau]

I have a router connected via an Ethernet port to 100 duplex Mbps/Full towards an operator limiting the band-width to 4Mbps. How can I make so that my policy-map associated with the Voip treatment is put in function as of the use of the 4Mbps?

You should be able to use a policing or shaping policy to limit the BW on an Ethernet port. Policing if the 4Mbps limit is absolute, shaping if some bursting is allowed.

Dear Sir,

We can use Policing, or apply rate-limit that matching on DSCP-EF or even ACL

CAR Matches on DSCP EF (Voice)

rate-limit input dscp 46 4000000 750000 1500000 conform-action transmit exceed-

action drop

CAR matches on ACL 101 which matches on the RTP payload port range.

rate-limit input access-group 101 4000000 750000 1500000 conform-action transmi

t exceed-action drop

The above values for 4M traffic.

Best Regards,

Hi

You can you this sample config to limit bandwidth about 4 Mbps and have priority queueing for voip traffic with bandwidth 50% from 4 Mbps.

Example config

-----------------------------

class-map match-all voice

match ip dscp ef

policy-map qos-policy

class voice

priority percent 50

class class-default

fair-queue

random-detect

policy-map fasteth-4mb

class class-default

shape average 4000000

service-policy qos-policy

interface FastEthernet0

service-policy output fasteth-4mb

Of course you can use this policy only in output direction.
